week 4, thursday

[vigilantics]

[ in hindsight, deciding to host a sleepover when 2/3 of the people here is someone you kissed is a little #awkward but like. it's fine? she's going to make this work.

so, when everyone is here, stephanie will gesture wildly at the room from her spot on the bed. ]

Hellooo! Welcome to our humble abode.

[ git gud hikage ]

I dare you to...

[ hm. this is going to be slightly awkward since she's holding onto hikage, but she's going to reach over to open a drawer that's next to the bed. it'll... probably be easier to temporarily let go and then go back to hand holding. whatever. she pulls out her batgirl cape and mask. ]

Put this on and say, "I'm Batgirl." And then don't take it off. You can wear the cowl as a hat.

[ since it would probably be annoying to put it over his burns. she's nice. :/ ]

[wagashis]

[first of all, how dare you do this to me with a ye olde who can't do a stupid deep voice with it for the I'M BATMAN joke? can't believe this shit francy.

but he's just looking at the cape and mask in confusion for a moment... why...

he takes them though, and he is definitely going to just wear the cowl part as a hat. he's had to have something over the bandages once this week, thanks.

and, in a very weary tone:] I'm... Batgirl. --is that really what you call yourself? I don't see the need for the bat theme.

[like, you can just fight criminals as yourself? what is the deal here. this feels ridiculous.]

[vigilantics]

[ she looks delighted?? at this??

when he makes the bat theme comment though, she'll pout slightly. ]

It's special.

[wagashis]

... I see.

[he does not. he still feels ridiculous.

but he's moving on, he'll ask about that later.]

Hikage, it's your turn to choose.

[psychedelica]

[ it looks about as silly on him as it did on Steph, honestly. Hikage snorts. ]

Maybe they're her favorite animal. [ weird choice but okay. ] ... Do I ask Belph again?

[vigilantics]

[ she just makes a face. rude!! ]

Hmm... you could ask someone else, if you want.

[axilium]

[he just smiles at steph and shirasu's antics, before turning to hikage.]

I think he's asking whether Hikage's picking truth or dare. No skipping your turn, Hikage.

[wagashis]

That's right. A good effort at passing, but I'm afraid you're not getting out of the game that easily.

[pick your poison, buddy.]

[psychedelica]

[ BELPH!!! HE THOUGHT YOU WAS A HOMIE!!! DON'T CALL HIM OUT. He gives him a look of betrayal. ]

He didn't ask me anything...! [ huff. ] Fine. Then... truth again.

[ this is... probably safer. probably. ]

[wagashis]

[is it really safer, though.]

Have you not noticed anything strange this week? Not counting the lack of death, naturally.

[he's just gotta confirm]

[psychedelica]

[ his eyes become a little sharper, expression more serious. ]

This feels like a trick question. If you know something, then just tell us.

[wagashis]

It's not a trick question at all. I'm only curious.

[this is innocent??]

[psychedelica]

... We all got forced to go to a dance. Stephanie didn't break any more bones. Other than that, everything's as weird as it usually is.

[vigilantics]

I don't know whether to be insulted or flattered right now.

[ hikage you moron ]

[wagashis]

Do you have to pick one?

[just go with both.

but good to know this has apparently been business as usual... hm!!]

I think that answer will do, though. You can continue.

[psychedelica]

[ Hikage arches a brow, clearly not understanding what just happened. Bless his heart. ]

Whatever. [ Belph!! You're up to bat. He turns to him. ] Your turn.

[axilium]

[belph stifles a laugh.]

T-Truth.

[psychedelica]

Is there something strange other than what I said going on this week?

[ taking advantage of his current position here. ]

[axilium]

Are you reaaaaaally sure you want to know the answer to that question?

[wagashis]

[god, his poker face skills are getting a workout tonight]

[psychedelica]

Just answer it before I change my mind. You should be grateful I asked you something impersonal.

[axilium]

Are you absolutely, positively, completely sure?

[vigilantics]

[ and you guys called her mean :/ ]

[psychedelica]

[ the flattest look. Then: ]

Fine. Is that a wig? You look ridiculous.

[axilium]

You wear a vampire cloak.

[just saying.]

Anyway, to answer your actual question... there seems to be a compulsion that makes you want to hold your partner's hand. Very unusual.
